THE CHICAGO MARKET.
How the Various Cereals Fluctu%

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-"COrn will ba
weaker and wheat stronger" remarked
trader, with large wisdom tooth, att
9:15 this morning. At 9:34 September
corn had dropped to 4114c, and wheat
had advanced to 6954c. The man whose
forecast of the market was correct does
not claim to possess a very large wis
dom tooth, but he reads the commercials
columns and buys crop news of Farmer
Prime, of Dwight, Ill. If he supported
his convictions by buying in accordance
with his expressed judgment, he has
made money enough to-day to spend tha
summer at Saratoga. About all of to-
days action was confined to the opening
balf hour. September wheat went up'
nc. September corn dropped 4cs
September oats sold at 255s@2534c, 'Sep-g
tember lard brought $685., and shOrtl
ribs were steady at sS.O21a. The
weather report this morning promiSe&I
local rains for Minnesota, Wisconsin,.
Iowa and the northern portions of In~
diana, Illinois, Michigan and MiSsourfs.
Before it obtained ''a good, strOnge
hold" September wheat moved up t0s
7016c to-day, and a more confident Senti&
ment was developed all around. Heavys
trading in corn was done at 415sc. Thet
receipts of wheat at Chicago were less.
than shipments by 9s,6OO bu, while the
excess of shipments of corn over re4
ceipts was 1000 bu. st. Louis received
$1,000 bu of wheat and Toledo II 900.
Better than any other one co1lsidefats
tion, however, was the promise, already
more than half implied by the figures.
which set forth the visible supply Of
wheat on Monday. 1t is anticipated
that decrease will be the inevitable
exhibit, than which there could be nov
more substantial bull argument.

AMERICAN WHEAT.
England Hates to Buy 1t, But
Has To.

LONDON, Aug 13.-A comparison of
various reports recently submitted to
p parliament, bearing upon the question
of England's food supply, gives the i'm
preston that in spite of their hopeful
tone John Bull still suffers an agony of
helpless rage at being compelled to pur-
chase as largely as he is yet doing from
American markets. He takes what COM
fort he can in deprecating the quality of
the impOrtatiOns, whether wheat,
cheese, meats or fruits, and
fears the deteriOratiOnS of BritOns
from feeding upon the inferior viandS
that, together with the horrible Yankee
climate, he believes have so fearfully
lowered the moral, mental and physical
condition of their descendants in
America. Buying American wheat is,
to the proud Englishman, only little
less obnoxious than purchasing that
commodity from the willy Russian
knocking at the gates of India. and it is
to the laSt-named country that its mas
tiers look for relief from their CALLING de-
pendence upon America for a supply of
that all-impOrtant cereal. But after
years of waiting and enormous eXpendi-
ture all that has been attained toward
that relief is embodied in the report of
ASIlCultuIdl OlItClOI ClltdlUll, Tic cOu-
Guiding portions of which are
RIDICULOUSLY FEEBLE
as contrasted with the rose-colored ac-
counts embraced in the report of the
future of the Indian wheat trade. Ac-
cording to the latter America is to be
undersold first ana foremost and after
ward, through inability to compete,
brought to the brink of bankruptcy, or
at least reduced to such state of hui
mility that the agrarian government
will have to abolish all tariffs and beg
the British manufacturer to pour his
goods into American markets at his own
price, a cOnsummation long and earn
estly prayed for. Mr.. Smeaton says
that the generally conceived opinion as
to the inferiority of Indian wheat is
wholly erroneous, as close eXamina-
ton will show that it is not of such
poor quality as experts have always
considered it, and that when its real
merits are acknowledged and its mar
ket price advanced. it may be grown at
a profit, which even he comedies, how
ever, is not now the case. His remedy
is to provide increased railway facilities
and to provide improved methods of
handling the crop, but it is doubtful if
capitalists can be persuaded to furnish
necessary funds, much as they might
desire to antedate the millennium when
the detested American producer shall
be shut out from British markets and
England's people. to the satisfaction Of

The French Army.

PARIS, Aug. 13.-Gen. Ferron, minis
ter of war, addressing the artillery
school last night, stated that he had ac-
cepted Office because he was convinced
that serious causes of weakness in the
military organization of the country
would continue SO long as complex bills,
requiring years to carry out the changes
they proposed, were presented to par
lament, and because of his belief that
unless efficacious measures of detail
were in the meanwhile speedily adopted
the country might be exposed to the
greatest danger. Parliament" Ferron
continued, 'sympathized with my fears
and intentions, and, after adopting two
clauses of the recruiting bill, passed
two less ambitious measures, which will
add largely to the efficiency of the in
fantry and cavalry arms. taking only a
few weeks instead of years in accom-
plishment. Intend to proceed in the
same manner with measures relating to
the artillery and engineers, and | feel
convinced that parliament will heartily
assist me, and thus we will best insure
the maintenance of peace"

HALIFAX, Aug. 13.-Bishop William;
S. Murray, of Iowa, who was OH Monday
chosen by the Nova Scotia synod as al
bishop of Nova Scotia, was selected as q,
compromise candidate, the high and
low church parties having come to s
deadlock over their respective candle
dates. The bishop of Illinois addressed
the synod and expressed the belief that
the transfer of an American bishop to-
a British colonial see would contribute
a great deal toward the unity of the
churches. Bishop Perry is expected
here soon from England. In casehs de-
clines to accept the Office to which he
has been elected, the selection of a.
bishop will be referred to the arch
bishop of London.

have eVentuated in military action have
had their origin in the capital of France.
The recent revelations" which pur-
ported to show how some ninety-fOur
generals III the French army Strove to
induce BOulanger to execute coup
d'etat, promising him their active aid in
the daring project, may be all mOOnShine
and as little worthy of credence as most
moderate politicians belive them to be;
but for all that the fact that they have
been invented, coupled with the other
fact that their object does not choose to
deny the truth of them, serves to indi-
cate at least the desires if it does not
confirm the intentions of the ''Boulan-
giSts." The action, therefore, of some
of the leading journals OF Paris in call
ing upon Gen. Ferron, the present min
lister of war, to enforce discipline in the
case of his predecessor is a welcome sign
of the times, welcome in so far as it dis
covers an
APPRECIATION OF THE DANGER
which recent events have given belief
to. 1t is hoped that this Boulanger
worship has not been permitted to go
to such lengths that the idol cannot be
cast down until the falsity of the belief
has been proved by the shedding
rivers of blood and the devas-
tatiOn of fair and prosperous lands. A
further hopeful incident is the breach
between NJ. Clemenceau and Gen. Bou-
langer. The leader of the Extremists
now bestOws sarcaSam where once he
showered laudatiOn. The more con-
servative of politicians have repudiated
the revelations" in which they were
made to figure as supporters of a pro-
posed, or as they now ay0w, mythical
coup d'etat. These and similar features
of the situation are encouraging to the
lovers of the peace, but, whilst they are
accepted as good omens, it would be
folly Oh the part of true friends of
France to ignore Boulanger's power for
evil, and worse than folly to neglect
any opportunity to check-mate his
movements towards revanche.

from Dublin says:
1t expresses il but mildly to say that the
Irish Nationalists are angry over Mr.. Blaine's
flight. Davitt was peculiarly chagrined,
after having hurried into Dublin for the ex-
press purpose of urging Mr.. Blaine to permit
himself to be honored by the Irish Organiza-
ton, to find him gone. Mr.. Blaine certainly
adhered to his original proclamation that he
would in no manner interfere in European
politics. But, it is thought he might have
been more courageous than to shun his Irish
admireres. He had given them every
reason to believe that he would gladly be-
come their guest in Dublin and they, sensi-
tive to the jealousies of the situation, and
anxious out of true regard for his welfare,
had decided to make the reception or BAN
quet, or whatever the affair might be, nom
political. 1t was when assured of this con-
siderate determination by the lord mayor that
Mr.. Blaine wavered in his recently formed
purpose to avoid public entertainment here
and shifted the responsibility of declining to
Mrs. Blaine. Notwithstanding the intmaton
in his letter to the lord mayor that he would
hasten to the continent, Mr.. Blaine left in
Structions that his mail be forwarded to Liy-
erpool. and told other persons that he would
visit Chester and neighboring points of inter-
est before going south.
